ok, i understand your point ... in tasksel you can choose desktop, but witch one is installed, does it appear all options? i thought that a desktop task was shown and installed kde minimal and gnome minimal. And then, another task installed, for example, a gnome optimised gnome desktop. this one, i would like to make, let's say, completely functional with no needs for a common user to install anything more. It just has all functions provided my windows or MacOS. they are: . audio and video codecs . out of the box drivers . filesystem support . and desktop integration the packages i speak of, is a propose to add to the gnome desktop task.
